Meet the Team
Candidate for Chairman, Jonathon Snyder: Jonathon has an extensive background of service to Ohio’s College Republicans, and is now serving his second term as Chairman of the Ohio College Republican Federation, during which membership has skyrocketed to be among the top states nationally in terms of number of CR chapters and members. In 2008, the OCRF was recognized as the top recruiting state in the nation by the College Republican National Committee, and in 2009, the OCRF had one of its best off-year recruitment efforts in history. Jonathon has also served as a Field Representative for the OCRF in the 2006 election cycle, and was previously Vice-Chairman of the Ohio State University College Republicans. In a 2009 poll of College Republicans on CRNation.com, voters selected him as the Best CR State Chairman. Jonathon is currently a student at Columbus State. Candidate for Co-Chairman, Joshua Burton: Joshua is currently serving in his first term as Co-Chairman of the OCRF, and was recently elected Chairman of the University of Cincinnati College Republicans. Joshua became involved in CRs and quickly rose into the leadership ranks following his instrumental efforts to rebuild the chapter on his campus, which is now a thriving example of the rebirth of OhioCRs. Joshua points to the successful effort to deploy OhioCRs to Virginia in 2009 as one of his crowning achievements, and is looking forward to employing the same tactics here in Ohio for the 2010 elections. Candidate for Vice-Chairman, Ethan Baron: Ethan is currently serving as the Secretary of the OCRF, having previously served as the Technology Director. Ethan just finished serving as the Chairman of the Ohio Wesleyan College Republicans, having helped to establish their chapter as a grassroots force in Delaware County. In his term as Technology Director, Ethan provided leadership in the redesign of the OCRF website, www.OhioCollegeGOP.org, and has continued to improve our online communications as Secretary in the past year. Ethan points to his role in successfully deploying the first-ever OCRF micro-site for the Virginia deployment as one of his proudest achievements, as well as launching the Stampede! OCRF blog.
